The Dress

Karen Willis Holmes Custom Vivienne Wedding Dress - Size 14 with custom adjustments (outlined below).

I am absolutely obsessed with this dress and am so excited to pass it on to another bride for them to enjoy :) As you will see below, I made a few adjustments to the standard model to make it more comfortable (very necessary when you wear it for 10+ hours) and give it a modern flare whilst still looking 'traditional'.

Adjustments from the standard model:
- Shorter sleeve length (for more modern look)
- Slightly lower back (but still covers a bra)
- Front split (for slimming illusion and comfort)

It's super flattering and slimming. Having a larger bust (size DD), I loved being able to wear a bra with it, but it is very supportive so you could easily not wear a bra if you prefer. The train is absolutely stunning and then it easily ties up into a neat bustle (see image 6) when you are done with the train. This bustle was custom made too as I didn't like the way the original Karen Willis Holmes one sat.

I added a bridal belt (see image 7) with some sparkle to match my shoes. Happy to include that free of charge (valued at $170). The beautiful bow on the back of the dress is from the bridal belt. Alternatively, it comes with a simple white belt (see image 8 - off the Karen Willis Holmes website) which will be included as well.

Happy to answer any questions :)
